Veterinarians say there isn't too much for owners to worry about when it comes to family pets and coronavirus.
Romine said COVID-19 symptoms in pets closely resemble the well-known symptoms in humans: cough, fever and runny nose. All symptoms are likely to be relatively recognizable and mild, she said.
If you believe your pet is showing symptoms and may have been exposed to coronavirus by someone confirmed with it, let the vet know upfront before bringing them in.The good news? No. The bad news? You could give it to your pet, Romine said. There is no evidence to date that pets can infect their owners, so there is no concern about animals being asymptotic and transmitting it the way humans do.
